The European Go Championship was won by Fan Hui, 7d, who had recently gained French nationality.
He beat Slovakia's Pavol Lisy in the final to take the title. Fan Hui also took the Open title as
there were not lots of strong Korean players there. He was also second in the Weekend Tournament,
behind Russia's Ilja Shikshin.

Best placed British player in the Open was Andrew Simons who won 6/10 to take 38th place.
Andrew Kay was 58th with 5/10. Pleasingly most British players won half their games, but
Boris Mitrovic, 1d, won 7 games and Brian Timmins, 9k, won 6.
